L85 / SA80 top rail adapter

[deezee_uk]

For a WE l85A2 is there a picatinny / weaver rail alternative for fitting modern scopes or perhaps an adapter. I did see one for an ICS but dont know if its a compatible swap?

Cheers.

On the 3 WE SA80's I've owned over the years, every one of them had the receiver drilled and the ICS sight mount fitted instead. Opens you up to many more optic options and it's honestly a ten minute job

There are the dovetail to 20mm pic rails that people make. Across the brands, as far as i'm aware, all the dovetails are the same so the adapters should work.

1. AirsoftArtisan sells a nice metal one and a QD version if you want that.
2. EnglishKiwi sells a polymer rail replacement. I have one of these I can sell you if you're interested. I snagged a B&T one a while ago so I have no use for it.
3. AntSupplies sell one but it's the most expensive of the three.
4. B&T also have a trademarked rail but they're pretty hard to find now.
